"Wise Blood," Artistic Anemia, and the Hemorrhaging of O'Connor Criticism.
Satterfield, Ben
Eureka Studies In Teaching Short Fiction, v1 n2 p61-81 Spr 2001
Proposes that Flannery O'Connor's work should be judged apart from the author's comments about it. Suggests her work should be evaluated on its own merits, read as fiction that represents and reflects the real world. Concludes that O'Connor was a "religious propagandist of minor importance who wrote didactic fiction." (PM)
